I love these old planks used for fishermen to place themselves. Number 20 had a special charm so I placed myself here!
The first 2022 daffodil from our garden. Advantaged by coming indoors on Sunday.
I much appreciate your comments and faves, thanks very much!
I seriously hope I look this good when I am seventy two years old (and counting). This is the original first Chevrolet Corvette from 1953. From what I have read, it didn't exactly set the world on fire when first released. The first year saw only 300 made, and they didn't all sell. Not great or particularly sporting to drive, mainly due to only having a straight six cylinder engine and a 2 speed automatic transmission. And it only came in one colour - Polo White with a red interior.
But, it did look so wonderful for the era, and it is where the Corvette started.
I cannot wait to 'drive' this one!
*********************************
A 1/18th scale model 1953 Chevrolet Corvette C1 by model maker AUTOart. This is one of only two pre-owned models in my ever growing set. A little hard to find now as they were released many years ago around 2004 and in limited numbers. I'm very happy to have it in my collection!
A ten image focus stack taken and processed with the Canon R10, RF 100-400 zoom lens and shot in a mix of diffused natural daylight and warm white LED lighting.
These wooden groynes are spaced along the length of Portobello Beach, to help protect from the sand drifting too much. This one, number four, also has some tiny sculptures on it (if you zoom in!), a local creator adds them now and then to brighten the world
Numbered for the date of the Rio Grande merger. At Union Depot's Train Day. Night photo session organized as usual by Steve Glischinski with lighting by Chris Guss.
WHEN SWEET CORN IS RIPE….
THE HARVEST IS IN... then, you know it is Autumn… here in Northern Europe at least.
All Summer you see the fields getting higher.
Silk is the name for the pistillate flowers, which emerge from the husk.
The fruit of the sweet corn plant is the corn kernel, a type of fruit called a caryopsis.
The ear is a collection of kernels on the cob.
Because corn is a monocot, there is always an even number of rows of kernels.
The ear is covered by tightly wrapped leaves called the husk.
Sweet corn occurs as a spontaneous mutation in field corn and was grown by several Native American tribes.
The Iroquois gave the first recorded sweet corn (called 'Papoon') to European settlers in 1779.
It soon became a popular food all over.
Another personal favourite, cannot say exactly why...
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

1948 Tucker
Some might say that Preston Tucker was a genius, and whether that's true, or not, is certainly debatable. But, I think we all could agree that he was a visionary with his car, and it's design. Advanced concepts that would take years and even decades for other car manufacturers to follow suit with, if at all. Air cooled rear engines, front wheel drive, electric assist manual transmission shifter, safety features largely unheard of in production cars at the time. Features like pop out windshield in the event of an accident, disc brakes, seat belts, padded dash, front right passenger safety zone, a third headlight that moved as the car turned, surely, I missed some. Some of these already had found a home in his first effort, the '48, and if he had remained in business his later models would have included those items not yet on the 48. The car I will show over the next series of shots was present at the annual Lime Rock Labor Day event in '24. It happens to be the 44th one produced out of the 51 he made before he, and his company got into trouble. The Big 3 had to be threatened by Preston's dream car, and one has to wonder what role they had played in Tucker's eventual demise? What made seeing this car special at the show was a chance to meet and talk with Tucker's great grandsons, twins I believe, and they had brought number 44 to the show.

(During a short visit to Sabiepark, we went for short late afternoon drive in the Kruger National Park. What a surprise we had. We were treated by lionesses, let me rephrase, by the cubs of two lionesses to the extreme! The two mothers went for an outing and left the 5 cubs behind, and did they enjoy the little bit of freedom, or let me rephrase, did we enjoy the little bit freedom they had. They came closer to use from about two hundred meters to within 10 meters! How fortunate can you get!
These cubs were photographed in the wild in the Kruger National Park.)
